What It’s Like To Attend Your First Exec Meeting As Explained By Jess From “New Girl”

Congratulations! You got elected to your chapter’s executive board! We are so excited for you. Serving on exec can be an awesome experience that teaches you a lot…but at the same time, it’s not always fun. Particularly all of the meetings you will have to attend. So, in order to prepare you, here is an accurate depiction of what it’s like to attend your first executive meeting, according to Jess Day of “New Girl.”

You tell her:

Entering hour two.

Next order of business: formal. First up, the social chair proposes an “Under the Sea” theme.
